on technology steroids; it’s a fundamental

shift. You might say that the digital era is

mankind’s return to his true nature.”

“Most Fortune 500 organizations don’t have IT represented in the boardroom. The CIO has

potential to be that leader of digital, but they haven’t branded themselves very well in part, because they were brought on to be technology managers. So that’s opened up a gap for this – let’s call it chief digital officer, and that’s quite

fashionable at the moment.”

“At the end of the day, I need everybody in the boardroom to be a digital leader,

“Whoever’s going to lead this digital push has to understand the hopes and

“The digital organizations that are going to trade at a significantly higher multiple are those where the CEO’s KPIs are actually his or her customer’s KPIs. The more

value you deliver to your customer, the more value you will

create for your internal enterprise.”
